I just got back from dropping Matt off at school. Traffic wasn't as bad as yesterday because they keep doing construction on Beaver Avenue and it's getting really annoying. Two lane one-way city streets are NOT meant for construction!!!

My one and only class is at 12:20 today. I will probably leave at 11. I'd like to get breakfast and some reading done till then. I doubt I will get much done though. I jut have no energy these days...

On the bright side, I did a little cross stitch last night while Matt was out playing poker. It was a lot of fun, even though I didn't get too much done. I still enjoyed it!

It's getting pretty boring up here at State College. I spend a lot of my time either with Matt (who I love, but let's be honest here, he can drive me nuts) or by myself. I saw Kelly a couple of days ago, and Janine at the education orientation meeting, but other than that, I've mostly been alone.

My parents keep sending me photos of the kittens. They are really adorable. They also have beautiful blue eyes and shiny black fur. I miss them so much!!!

At least it won't be too empty a weekend. Well, Saturday probably will be. On Sunday I have job training from 1 to 5. It's about time. I'm really starting to run out of money. =( I wonder if I will be able to afford my rent on time this month (October 1st is the next time I'll have to pay).

Matt is going to play poker with his buddies tonight. I'm probably going to try to get caught up on some reading. We'll see how that goes. =(

This past weekend was the trip to Knoebels that Kimmi has been planning forever, and that I've been looking forward to forever! It was, of course, totally awesome and amazing. Some stuff I did...

1) Helped to set up a tent (or rather, to take down the tent. I just kinda watched everyone else set it up :P)

2) Roasted marshmallows

3) Got drunk

4) Watched everyone suck at starting fires

5) Played King's Cup / Waterfall / whatever other names it has

6) Slept in a tent...Katie doesn't sleep in tents but she did this weekend!!! :D

7) Got motion sickness for one of the first times in my life

8) Screamed so loud on the roller coasters, I literally lost my voice

9) Had a really gross slushie

10) Had really yummy popcorn

11) Rode with Matt on the antique cars...he's crazy even in a 100-year old styled go-kart!

12) Went on the log flume

13) Watched Alex and Matt on Fandango and felt sick just watching

14) Rocked the Flying Sails :P

15) Wished that Flying Turns could be open

16) Also wished we hadn't forgotten the Cosmotron and that we could have gone on the tea cups...you guys are no fun!!! :P

17) Didn't want to ever leave...

Let's not forget the funniest roller coaster photo ever taken...go to Kimmi's Knoebels photo gallery to see it. It's the second one later on...the first photo is from last year.

Gotta love Knoebels!

I went to class today, in the gross, dreary weather. I met up with Matt for lunch and then he waited for me during my class. Then he walked me to the bus stop and I came back here. There's not much more to my school day than that.

I swung by the car wash and got some quarters from the change machine. Then I came back and got the mail - my pay check from CD came ($200!!!!) I threw my laundry in using some of the quarters from the car wash and I'm currently online hanging out. I found someone who posted a job position for babysitting tonight into tomorrow morning, early. So I applied, hoping that maybe I would hear from them soon enough. We'll see...

I'm sick. I could barely take notes in my astronomy clas this afternoon. I have a headache and stuffy / runny nose, so I have trouble breathing sometimes, except for when I blow my nose, which feels really good before I get stuffed up again after, like, a minute.

I am better than I was yesterday though. I just feel weak, but my headache and sore throat are pretty much gone. I'm hoping to be completely better by Saturday morning for the camping trip. Not that I wouldn't go even if I was still sick. I'd just rather not be!

The good news is that my dad took Button Cup into the shop a few days ago and they diagnosed the problem. Turns out it wasn't the spark plugs, but the spark plug WIRES. So Button Cup should be back to normal soon enough. I can't wait to drive it again. =)

Matt and I are back at the apartment again, and he is playing his Mario Kart Wii game. AGAIN. I think he is determined to beat all the cups on every cc, including Mirror Mode. I also think he's crazy. This morning I played SMW again. I went through Star World and took the short cut to Bowser's Castle. I am such a cheater! :P But I died on the roof fighting Bowser when I ran into one of those STUPID wind-up mini Bowsers. -.-;;

I think I am obsessed. And bored.

I hate myself.

95% of the time, I really, truly, and honestly, hate myself.

Read my latest Facebook note for more info. I'm not fucking reposting any of that shit.

Later.

This morning I dropped Matt off at the corner of Allen Street and College Avenue. I am back at the apartment catching up on some reading before I leave for my classes. And I get to drive his Mustang - aren't I lucky?

My one E C E textbook is so boring, at least so far. But I am getting through it okay. I just hope it doesn't keep up like this! I have read over thirty pages and taken notes. So you can bet I am taking a break now!

I'll probably have Ramen for lunch and then head out around 11. Maybe sooner. See ya.
